Here are my simple tips to combine your Christmas Decorations Color Combinations
1. When going for One color combination, choose various shades of that one color. That will work very nicely to create an interesting look so that it won’t look boring.
2. When choosing two or more colors, what will work best is sticking to colors that complement each other. Warm colors together and Cool Colors together. Look at the color wheel. Warm colors are colors that make you feel warm all over. They are the colors of day and the sunshine and summer. Colors like yellow, orange, red and white goes very well together. Cool colors are colors of winter and the night. Colors like blue and green are cool and go together.
3. Choose colors that are beside each other in the color wheel. Colors like pink and purple go together. Yellow and Orange, Dark Blue and Magenta.
4. White goes with anything. Gold goes with silver. Think about it. Gold is warm and so it goes with the warm colors of orange and yellow. Silver is cool and goes well with blue and purple.
5. If you want to be even more adventurous, you can combine opposing colors on the color wheel. This will have a unique look. However, you must choose your colors carefully. If you are not sure how to, click on the color wheel. It will lead you to a site that has a color combination tool. This color tool is often used for website designers to choose the colors for their website but you can use it for your Christmas Decoration Color Scheme too. On the site, just click on your main color scheme, and you will be shown the matching colors.
6. What about Christmas lights? The same color principles applies. Just pick matching or opposing colors. Silver or White Lights for Cool Colored Decorations and Yellow or Gold Lights for Warm Colors to enhance those colors even more. If you are using multi-colored lights, try not to use multi-colored decorations. Multi-colored lights will look nice on just one or two colored Christmas Decorations.
7. When using one color, try to go for a combination of material, glossy glitter and shine or matt and rough to create interest and depth.
Thats it! I hope you have a good time decorating your homes for Christmas.
Single Color Themed Christmas Decorations
You don’t have to be a pro to come up with a coordinated look for your home by using single color themed Christmas Decorations

This Christmas why not go Purple. Purple is the color of passion. Purple is a rich color. It will be a nice unifying theme for your Christmas decorations.
Purple goes well with pink. Complete your purple and pink Christmas decor with silver lights.
Gold Christmas Decorations
Everything that Glitters is Gold
Gold is not only for the rich. This Christmas you can get the Midas touch of Gold by including a Gold theme in all of your Christmas Decorations. It will give your home a magical glitter and shine.
Gold is a warm color and really brings out a tree. You can match gold with any color theme. Use gold as a tree topper and golden lights for that warm and cozy feel.
There are many different shades of gold too. I love Champagne Gold. Gold ribbons make the perfect wrap and add a beautiful final touch to any tree.

Blue is the color of peace and tranquility
Blue is the color of the skies and the ocean. Blue signifies peace and tranquility. What better way to decorate a room for Christmas then with Blue?
Blue goes very well with silver and white or you could go for blue and green to give it a cool marine look and feel.
You can go for dual color combinations in your color themed Christmas decorations
Green and Red, Gold and Silver, Pink and Purple
Pink Christmas Decorations
Pink is the color of universal love
I like pink and gold or pink and silver or pink and pearl. Pearly white or off white colors go very well with powder pink. Create interest with dashes of gasp.. green. Yes, they will go together but be careful in selecting just the right shade of pink and green. Use the color wheel to help you.

You can really make red go for you. With the clever use of red, you will create not only a traditional look and atmosphere, it will also be vibrant and exciting.
You can’t go wrong with the traditional colors of red, green and white or gold. I never get bored looking at those colors and they remind me of Christmas right away!
Silver Christmas Decorations
Silver is Shiny and Cool
Silver snowflakes and silver stars and fairies add an extra cool touch to your Christmas trees. Why not make Silver the color theme and put cool touches all over your home this Christmas?
Silver goes with anything because of its clear, glassy look. However, I think they work best with cool colors on the color wheel.
Silver icicles are lovely and work with anything.
Triple Colors in a Color Themed Christmas Decoration is great too
White, Red and Green or Yellow, White and Orange etc
Yellow Christmas Decorations
Yellow is the Color of Sunshine
Invite the color of warm sunshine into your home this Christmas by decorating with a yellow Christmas theme.
Yellow is almost like gold but not quite. Gold can be a bit loud. You can combine pastel yellow with white or a rich yellow orange with browns.

White is the color of purity and innocence
White is pure, clean and innocent. White is also the color of winter. Just perfect as a color theme for Christmas.
Everyone needs a little bit of white snowflakes to get in the mood for Christmas and the holidays.
A white Christmas tree is magical when lit!
Orange Christmas Decorations
Orange is a vibrant and powerful color
Orange is a warm color. As orange is a combination between red and yellow. It has the power of red and the warmth of yellow combined. A color coordinated orange theme Christmas will give your home both these atttibutes of vibrant warmness feel.
Burnt orange can be combined with brown or green. Orange can also be combined with yellows or reds because they all belong to the warm color family.
Brown Christmas Decorations and Ornaments
Want to be different? Go back to nature. Choose brown themes as your Christmas decoration. Make it stand out with different finishing, matte, shining, glitter or sparkle.
Mocha or Chocolate Brown goes well with kiwi greens. You can also match browns with gold to give it a really rich look.
Can’t decide what color theme to use?
Why not go colorful. A few dashes of color here and there makes your Christmas Decoration more interesting
MultiColor Christmas Decorations
If you can’t decide what color to use for your Christmas decorations, you can go colorful
Multiple colors add fun and variety to your Christmas decorations but remember not to overdo it. Little dashes of color here and there are good but try to keep it from being overwhelming.
If all else fails, go for multi-color decorations. However, if you pick multi-color ornaments for your tree, try to go for single colored lights and if you choose multi-colored lights, try to go easy on the number of colors your use in your decorations.
